Huge Wisconsin Bust

Kevin08 · #1 (**permalink**) 10-16-2009, 12:32 AM

I saw this today and honestly think it's the biggest waste of taxpayers money. I mean, i can see it neccessary to pull up all the plants, but 80 cops?! And why the fuck did they take 7 hours with all that manpower, they really were just out to make a name for themselves i guess.

SHAWANO, Wis. - Drug agents say it's one of the largest organized drug grows in Wisconsin.

Nearly 80 law enforcement officials from nine agencies eradicated about 8,000 marijuana plants from 12 grow sites in the Navarino (nav-ah-REE'-noh) Wildlife Area in eastern Wisconsin Tuesday.

Authorities say they dismantled four camp and work sites and processed them for evidence.

Shawano (SHAW'-noh) County Sheriff Randall Wright said the growing operation had been abandoned for some time and that there was a substantial amount of marijuana harvested before law enforcement learned about it.

Shawano, Waupaca and Oconto sheriff's departments joined federal and police agencies in the eradication operation.

Now if you ask me...I'm smellin' some fish. 8000 plants. the site was abandoned BEFORE the bust. and some of the plants where even harvested.

This tipping off anyone else?

One of the growers probably ratted for one reason or another, and struck a deal. you get 8000 plants Mr. Officer, my friends and i get some of the bud and protection, and you get one hell of a bust. Deal.

But, we will see the development.

Eh I was about 45 mins away from shawano when this happened, I was thinking about scavenging some myself, but it wouldn't surprise me if it was wildy growing. I don't know though without having a good look at the plants. There was a 12,000 plant bust a year or two back a little north of there as well.

Will be interesting to see if it will affect the local scene at all. I know 8k plants gone can't be a good thing though.

Randy Wright:

Plants are estimated in the millions of dollars.

Millions of dollars.

Yes millions of dollars

Guy looked like he was ready to pounce on selling that shit.

Weed looked dirty in the second video anyway. Those dozers caused more damage then growing it too.
